@terrywalters5410 wow… that sounds easy enough. My luck isn’t always that great. The spring would probably hit me right in the eye. Thanks for watching and sharing.

Probably want to wear some safety glasses but I'm thinking it would be like a punch from a finger ha ha I'm fixing to do mine I'll message you back from the hospital :-)

@terrywalters5410 exactly….tear off a finger nail…. Let me know how it goes!! Just curious are you re building, building an S10 or just need new door pins?

@@dtperformance256 I have been slowly building my 19 93 chevy S10 extended cab 4.3 L fully loaded one owner grandpa truck for probably 16 years now I picked it up with only 43,000 miles and only has 100,000 it now I paint cars for living and redoing the bedliners now and noticed the top door hinge has finally start to wear out pretty good to make this long I think👍🏼

@terrywalters5410 wow.. that’s a unicorn. Very nice!! I love all the S10’s not just the racing type. I drove one for years when I was a teenager. Swapped a few with 350’s. Just something about them. Yeah they are not a 55 Chevy or anything, but that is just what I like. Good luck with your upgrades and build and thanks again for watching and commenting. Always good to hear from folks and see what they are doing.

@yourpcmd I tried to get it published right after dinner but had issues. I don’t think the shaft was compromised either but wanted to get feedback. Yeah I thought the drill would work better but I think my bolt had a slight bend that caused the shaft to wobble a little. Still turned out great though. The complete front brake assembly was $130 for both sides. Yes, I just disconnected the tie rods, upper and lower ball joint and purchased the complete assembly. Make sure to get the brake line brackets that attach to the frame or you will have tricky brake line angles if you use the first gen brake line brakets. The second gen brake line brackets make routing much easier. Thanks so much for the super thanks support! The views and comments are much appreciated as well!!!

@yourpcmd Thanks for sharing my friend!! Many thanks for the views, comments, and the Super Thanks!! Much appreciated brother!!

@stevea6722 Yeah I am all about saving money!!! Thanks for sharing this information!! Much appreciated!! Also many thanks for watching and commenting!!

@4xforlife437 Thanks for watching. I am pushing to get my transmission built and installed so I can get the wiring started. The speedometer is a GPS speedometer from amazon. Link below. Again thanks for watching and commenting!! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B081JN8S8X?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

@OxilamAffliate thanks for watching and commenting!! I sent you an email and would love to discuss this with you. We can share contact info via email. Again thanks for watching and commenting and I look forward to hearing from you.

@@dtperformance256 Have replied back, please check.

@lovebigbootie69 That usually works for me too, these were getting replaced so I wasn’t concerned with saving them. Thanks for watching and sharing information!!!

@yourpcmd Thanks! For some reason I did not get the notification that you had sent a response. Thanks again for sharing!!

@@dtperformance256 anytime brother!

@yourpcmd I originally had purchased a TH350 to build and changed my mind and went with the TH400. Both are great. I had a TH350 in my last S10 build behind a stock 350. I loved it. Just wanted to try a TH400 cause the word on the street is that they are much stronger. I would have no problem going with a TH350 again. Safe travels brother and as always thanks for watching, commenting, and the super thanks is very very much appreciated!!!

@yourpcmd geez… Thanks brother! Much appreciated!!!

@jeffallen3382 So far so good! Thanks for watching and commenting!!

​@@dtperformance256you're welcome!

@irwin6794 Thanks for watching and commenting!! Holley/Hooker Blackheart says the steering shaft for a 1994-2004 is their part number 71223021HKR. I am not exactly sure of the differences but I can tell you this steering shaft allows for way more clearance than a stock steering shaft. I had the exact same issues and without buying more expensive brackets my power steering pump was hitting as well. I have had many manual steering S10’s and they are not that bad to drive. You may have a tough time finding a manual box for a 1994. Thise things are hard to find, at least for a first gen anyway. I want to say I have heard….don’t know for sure but the second generation S10’s did not have a manual steering option. I would have to double check that. Again, thanks for watching and I hope this was of some kind of help.

@@dtperformance256 No they do not have a manual option. Rockauto has a manual steering box for a 1993. It looks like it would work for my 94. I have a manual transmission so the Hooker Blackheart Steering Shaft 1983-1993 S10 Part Number 71223022HKR looks like it would work. I'm going to gamble and take a chance. Look up LARES part number 11472 it looks like it would fit in the same 3 holes in the frame of my 94. Thanks for your help.

@irwin6794 let me know what you get figured out. I looked at a LARES steering box for mine and it was very expensive. You’re welcome I hope something I said or did helped.

@joeychagnon-tw9vl Glad it helped you out. I swapped a 350 into my first V8 S10 build years ago and used this trick. The truck is still going and you can’t even tell there is an access hole there. Keeps rocks out of the frame too. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

@derpy_llama6149 The spring will go in easy by hand and then just adjust the tension. When you look at the spring it has a flat piece of the spring one on end. This is the back of the spring. This faces toward the rear of the truck with the tang or bent clip looking piece to the inside toward the floor. The open end will go toward the front of the truck over the brake caliper line. It will fit just over the nut on the brake caliper line. You will set the tension on the brake line under the cab at the “y” shape connector. It has a threaded rod. I backed my rod out to make sure I had plenty of adjustment for later on if the cable stretches a little. Thanks for watching and I hopes this helped you out. If you still have questions, please ask and I will do my best to help you figure it out.

@Mike-lc4gn No it didn’t change, the only issue I had was with a Weld Pro Star, the wheel rubbed slightly so I lengthened the studs and added a 1/4” spacer. Not sure why, everyone else told me they didn’t have any issues but they were using different wheels on the front. I show this on the follow up video to this one. Thanks for watching and commenting and good luck with your build . I hope this helped you out.

@thisoldhooptie 😂😂 I could sure use the luck for sure!!! Yeah I was impressed with the mics and wished I would have had them when I started the channel!! As always thanks for watching and the comments!!

@allencobbs4047 It was a pain but worth it…totally agree.

@allencobbs4047 Thank you. Glad to be back. Had a lot of life going on. I hope I am back on track and can get some stuff done on the truck with videos to show!

@allencobbs4047 Thanks for sharing! This thing had me aggravated trying to hold it and mark everything. Now that is on, I will go back and look at what you are saying. How did you secure it underneath?Thanks again!

@user-yi2fk8bl1d I used the replica of the Holley 302-1 because it doesn’t hang down past the crossmember. It is supposed to give you the most clearance, but I still had to notch my crossmember. I have see guys use the stock pan and the GM muscle car pan with good fitment results but the pan will hang under the crossmember by a couple of inches. The only pan that I myself have experienced is the replica of the 302-1. I did alot of research and still wound up notching my crossmember. Look up the GM muscle car pan and compare the dimensions. There are spec sheets all over the internet. I have a video on the oil pan that I used and you can see the clearance in the notch the frame videos I made. A 1993 would be the same as my 92 in my videos if you want to see what clearance I had. Links to the oil pan and notch video below so you can see the fitment. I hope this helps you figure out what you want to use. Thanks for watching and the question.

@yourpcmd I enjoy making videos. Thanks for watching and much thanks for the super thanks. The support is greatly appreciated!!

@andersonrowland Thanks for watching and commenting!!

@jeffallen3382 Thank you!!

@Mbcoinsnet Thanks and thanks for watching and commenting!!

Plus they leak...

@jeffallen3382 Yeah that was something I forgot to mention. You have to have an adapter to use in the small hole to fill the transmission.

@jeffallen3382 Email me

@thisoldhooptie Until I started researching building transmissions, I had never seen this type of fixture. I love it. It doesn’t have to be permanently mounted and is mobile so I can tuck a way in my cluttered shop space! Thanks for watching and the comment brother!

@compactorcompaction Yeah it is really useful!!

@yourpcmd Oh no….. I didn’t see this until after you posted it the super thanks. I pray everyone is ok. Truck can be replaced. My family was in the tornado that hit Alabama in April of 2011. It was an EF5. Direct hit on the house and we were inside. I was found 75 yards in the woods, 9 broke ribs, broken shoulder, 2 concussions and my family was scattered in the yard. Wife had a fractured leg and my two bous were beat up from debris. Totaled all our vehicles. But that stuff can be replaced. By the mercy of God we were all alive. The tornado killed my neighbors. So I know the mental state your in. Stay strong brother and prayers going up.

@yourpcmd THANKS!!! How’s your truck coming along. Send photos!!

@@dtperformance256 read above. Sad days 😪

@compactorcompaction6539 Never got the first one I ordered. I had to order another one. Waiting on the refund for the first one I ordered. Yeah for sure dang USPS. Everyone has problems though I guess.

@shadetree10000 Thanks!

@marcjessie8156 Thanks for the kind words. I try to answer the questions that I would ask and show as much detail so that is easy to understand what I am talking about. I hope this helped you out. Thanks again for the comment and for watching.

@user-zq2nd6cp7l yeah I thought about welding nuts to the inside as well. Good idea, but I hope I don’t have to change the mouts that much…LOL.

@user-zq2nd6cp71 Thanks! I have done two 350 swaps and loved’em. Yeah I am in Rainsville. It about 10 miles west of Ft Payne. Everyone usually knows Ft Payne because it is where the guys in the country group Alabama are from.

do you have a video for the 350 swap cluster that you did?

@user-zq2nd6cp7l Sorry I do not. That was before I started a TH-cam channel. The truck was an 85 model and I just inset the gauges in the holes that were already there. It was much simpler that this one.

@ronfasano71 I checked and the one in the video that I used is no longer available, but here is the link to one that is just like it. If you watch any of my other videos, just so you know and it is easy for you, all of the parts that I use in my videos are in the description with the links for your convenience.

@marquez1876 I haven’t fully installed it yet, but I will make the wiring video when I get there. We are getting close! Thanks for watching and commenting!!

@@dtperformance256 I subscribed because I just got my 2.8l running and out of the body shop so I'm also about to start working on the dash and other little things

@@Marquez_0607 Very cool! Thanks for the sub! I am getting close to getting truck running and installing the sensors to wire the dash. It’s coming….. stay tuned and thanks again!

@alexadams9644 Hope this helped you out. 5 S10’s…… that is awesome. I wish I still had all of the ones that I have owned over the years. Never letting this one go….LOL. I am gonna catch the roller pins on sale (actually now) and pick up some of those when I get closer to finishing my truck. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

@Air-ei9qb Correct ….I had to use a spacer. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@jeffallen3382 For sure ARP! Aside from my LS S10 build we are going to build my son’s 07 non DOD 5.3. Truck Norris cam for sure. I have a set of 243 heads and some 706’s. I think we are going with the 706’s for his truck and the 243’s for my S10. That sucks about the stripped out threads. My heart would sink after finding that. Sounds like you got a good repair and are on your way to getting it going. I wish I could start a 6.0 build but I am too deep in the 5.3 to turn around now. Definitely keep me posted on how it goes! You should start a build series on TH-cam, I am sure people could benefit from what you have done!!!

@@dtperformance256 I have been thinking about starting a build series for my 67 Chevelle. But I don't have a LS for it, just an old school SBC. But I've been an ASE master certified tech for over 30+ years. Now I'm medically retired and just do stuff for friends and family.

@jeffallen3382 SBC are still a thing. Start a channel! I am an old SBC carburetor guy trying to learn the new LS EFI platform, but there is still a yearning for the SBC stuff. I wouldn’t have went LS if it wasn’t for my youngest son, but now I am on a path to learn the EFI stuff. Do it Jeff!!

@@dtperformance256 it's possible it may happen here soon. Been working on a few things here behind the scenes and we'll see?

@jeffallen3382 Yeah down here in bama they are easy to find. But with the prices after the Covid era they are high priced like everywhere else.

@@dtperformance256 Roll Tide! My wife is a MASSIVE Alabama football fan!

@jeffalllen3382 Tell her ROLL TIDE from DTPerformance!! My wife is an Auburn fan. House divided. Ugh…

@@dtperformance256 oh I don't envy that!

@jeffallen3382 Thanks for the correction. I am learning how to work on the TH400 and I saw where someone said one of the cooler ports was pressure and one was return. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching! I will go back and make the correction in the video!

@@dtperformance256 no problem! Technically there is a pressure and return on those cooler line ports. But those are not what's used for diagnosis of the transmission "pressure" circuit.

@jeffallen3382 Good to know. Thanks again for commenting. I picked that info up from someone else and I didn’t think that one of the cooler lines had that much pressure on it, but again I didn’t know and was trusting of what they told me. What you are saying makes more sense to me. I dont want to give out incorrect information so I really appreciate it!

@@dtperformance256 you're welcome!

@jeffallen3382 I got the video edited and found a pdf of the ATSG TH400 manual that details the port to check pressure. Thank God for people like you that are helpful and not jumping on here to beat me up. Again, I appreciate the info Jeff.

@2015_Rubicnn thanks for sharing. I’ll have to give those pans a look.

@dtperformance256 You can also find F Body crate engine take offs for even cheaper. 160 to 180 bucks with pan, windage tray, dip stick, pickup tube gasket, and filter.

@MrBama14nc Yeah I can see that. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@ michealblack9189. Yes it will work. The four bolt boxes have more turns lock to lock, but the three bolt box will work just fine fine. I am referring to the bolts on top of the gear box and not the blots that mount it to the frame. I couldn’t remember if i said that in the video…lol.

@papergatorzfedducca7998 I appreciate the sub!!! Thanks for the comment!! That means alot. I hope you find some useful videos!!!
